Application and use

Thanks to its special topcoat the glossy surface of HERMA PE white tc gives a good print quality in conventional printing processes like e.g. UV flexo printing.

HERMA PE white tc can be used to produce visually demanding, glossy, non-transparent labels. For recycling reasons these labels are preferably used on PE surfaces.

Thanks to the high flexibility of this material even curved surfaces and deformable packaging may be labelled without any problems.

 

Adhesive 43N is suitable for applications requiring high tack combined with good removability. It is particularly suited for labelling cardboard, rough surfaces and plastic films. Removability may be impaired if applied on certain surface coated materials. Adhesive 43N features excellent resistance to light, heat and ageing. The supercalendered glassine is perfectly suited for assignment in labelling machines equipped with optical or mechanical scanners.
